    Abstract : Background: Ending preventable newborn deaths is an unfinished global health agenda. Infants surviving birth have a right to thrive and to reach their full developmental potential. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy : inflammation and therapies

    Author : Elena Di Martino; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neonatal hypoxic ischemia (HI) is a severe condition characterized by a complex pathophysiology. The lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and blood flow (ischemia) leads to neuronal cell death via necrosis and apoptosis, and a consequent post-ischemic inflammation. HI brain injury may lead to seizures, cognitive and motor impairments, and death. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomarkers and outcome in children with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

    Author : Mikael Finder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Approximately 1-6 per 1000 born infants will develop hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) with significant associated mortality and morbidity. For the past 45 years, severity of HIE has been stratified into mild, moderate, and severe. Seizures are common in moderate to severe cases of HIE. READ MORE

  6. 4. Background aEEG/EEG measures in very preterm infants : Relation to physiology and outcome

    Author : Sverre Wikström; Lena Hellström-Westas; Ingmar Rosén; Andrew Whitelaw; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electroencephalography; brain damage; prediction; interburst interval; Neurodevelopmental impairment; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize single-channel aEEG/EEG, recorded during the first postnatal days in preterm infants, in relation to brain function and two-year outcome. Study I investigated if aEEG/EEG was associated with neonatal brain injury, inflammation and outcome in 16 very preterm (VPT) infants. READ MORE
